The use of a combination of transmitted light and epiluminescence after silver and fluorescent staining of chromosome preparations makes it possible to achieve simultaneous visualization of silver-stained NORs and flourescent chromosomes. This technique permits exact localization of silver precipita

โฆ Synopsis
Chromosomes from a patient with a satellited Yq were stained with a silver procedure that differentially stains nucleolus organizer regions. The Yqs stained heavily in all cells examined, indicating the presence of ribosomal cistrons at this region. The Yqs also entered into satellite associations with the D and G group chromosomes at a frequency greater than would be expected through chance.

The Ag stainability of the nucleolus organizer region (NOR) was studied in the acrocentric chromosomes identified by Q banding of cultured lymphocytes in 41 karyotypically normal persons (33 males and 8 females) originating from southeast Estonia.

A combination of the silver-staining method of the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) with a Giemsa-banding method is described. This double staining allows a rapid identification of the NOR-bearing chromosomes.
A simple and rapid technique is described whereby the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) of human chromosomes can be differentially stained with silver. This staining is followed by trypsin-Giemsa banding on the same metaphase chromosomes. The metaphases simultaneously exhibit silver-stained NORs an
Mitotic preparations from 30 subfertile males and meiotic preparations from 3 normal and 2 subfertile males were examined by means of the Ag-I technique of Bloom and Goodpasture (1976) to reveal nucleolus organiser regions (NORs). In the mitotic preparations, each subject was found to have a charact
